Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

SingaporeShowering facilities were onsen style for those that do not have a private bathroom, so there are no cubicles. Tourists from other countries might want to take note of that.
Breakfast was buffet style and was worth the money. It was pretty decent. Staff were friendly and extremely helpful, free hotel transfer is excellent Heater in room was strong which is good but can get abit too hot and stuffy

SingaporePrice was not cheap but it's the cheapest I found. I chose single room with bath and the room can fit double bed (size-wise). Fitted with single bed, they also add medium-sized fridge, a round table with chair and electric heater. Arrived after sundown at 2C, took a cab & asked hotel for Japanese address (for taxi driver reference). Check-in was smooth and I was brought to my room with the heater already ON! Check-out the next morning by walking to Kumoba Pond and Kyu-Karuizawa. From there, took the bus to Shiraito Falls then back to Kyu-Karuizawa and took red bus to Usui Observation Pass. When I got back to hotel to retrieve luggage, the receptionist kindly arrange to send me to Karuizawa Station. Staff are kindful lot and it was a very memorable and heart-warming stay. Hope the staff keep up their energy for guests' amazing stay at Karuizawa!

New ZealandIf you want to have the gasoline heater on overnight, you may want the ventilator on as well even though they used an isolated airing system already. The ventilator produces considerable noise at nighttime. But tje room is actually not crazy cold so you caa turn those off.
A fairly priced option for travellers without cars, most others are either a lot more expensive or so far away. This is more like a hostel but you have all the privacy needed. They also kept the place clean by javing guests leaving their shoes at the entrance. They also kindly offered to send us back to the train station.

United KingdomSuch lovely staff − really warm welcome who went out of their way to drop me off at station, and give advise etc. Really lovely people. Karuizawa is an expensive location so this is a great budget option. Its only about half a kilometre to the station and shopping plaza, and about a kilometre up to the old town. Highly recommend.
